gollark: Do you mean actually meddle with them or just receive them?
gollark: Weird.
gollark: Nowadays, if someone came up with the idea of sending privileged system messages down something the user could easily read/write to, they would probably not be taken seriously, but it seems like they just... didn't think of the security implications? Or thought doing it differently would be too costly maybe.
gollark: It seems really bizarre that people came up with this whole in-band signalling system and thought it was a good idea.
gollark: To get free long distance calls.
